According to Hindu mythology , Ganesha is the son of the god Shiva and the goddess Parvati , he is the master of all the atoms and energies that make up the universe. The universe would be in chaos if there was no supreme law governing the various parts that make it up. Ganesha penetrates the universe as the highest, ubiquitous consciousness, bringing order. Although he is a formless deity, he is worshiped in the form of an elephant, because the expression in the form of words is volatile and changes over time.

The big belly of Ganesha symbolizes generosity , a raised hand represents protection, a lowered hand with the palm pointing out symbolizes the fact that one day everyone will return to earth. A single tusk signifies unambiguity.
